If I were you, I'd definitely apply! I applied for the trip to America about 2 months back, thinking I hadn't much of a chance, and long story short... I won it, and I'm going to America on the 25th of June for 2 weeks :D:D So apply for it, you never know what might happen

I would encourage everyone to apply for these. They really are a great opportunity.

I think I will apply. I've nothing to lose anyway!

edit: heeey, it turns out I know one of the people who did it last year. Small world!

Unfortunately all the other awards are now closed, but keep an eye out for the 2013 awards, applications are usually open for around a month in the spring each year.

In the meantime, couldn't encourage everyone enough to apply for this last opportunity in Germany.

Finally you can find all about the paid volunteer programmes on offer from EIL here and for study abroad here
